Xamarin.Forms: Android app forgets the style when using DynamicResource
This content has 3 years. Some of the information in this post may be out of date or no longer work. Please, read this page keeping its age in your mind.If you break the look and feel of the app when you switch apps on mobile, and you use styles as DynamicResources, which you add as MergedDictionaries in App.Xaml,you should pay attention to this: When you don’t exit the Android app, but bring it back to the foreground after a very long time, the constructor logic in App.xaml.cs runs again. Don’t forget to add MergedDictionary from code, which contains the styles. If you forget this, all controls will appear in the app with their default look. I wrote about how to handle restarting the application here: https://www.banditoth.hu/2021/03/22/xamarin-forms-reopening-application-best-pratices/
